“The Great Wig Mystery”

In "The Great Wig Mystery," Scrooge McDuck’s latest adventure takes a wild turn when his plane crash-lands in a pile of imported European wigs, setting off a bizarre legal battle. With a pig named Scalpnick claiming to have been crushed by the wigs and awarded a fortune he didn’t earn, Scrooge finds himself tangled in a courtroom farce that’s as absurd as it is unforgettable. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, this 1964 classic blends slapstick chaos with Barks’ signature wit, all captured in a cover by Carl Barks that perfectly mirrors the story’s zany tone.

Scrooge crashes his plane on landing, while bringing home a load of wigs from Europe. A pig character named Scalpnick pretends to have been caught under the wigs and a jury, persuaded by Scalpnick's story that the crash gave him an allergy to wigs, awards him nine hundred times more money that there is in the world.
